For the girls of 'Once Upon A Kiss', Christmas has always been spent at home.
By MICHELLE CALIGAN



For the girls of Once Upon A Kiss, Bianca Umali, Sabrina Mann, and Mariel Pamintuan, Christmas has always been spent at home.

"At home lang, bakasyong bahay," shares Bianca, who will reunite with Miguel Tanfelix in the said teleserye airing on January 5.

She adds, "May mga nagpaplano din bigla na mag-out of town for Christmas. Pero for this year, as usual, bakasyong bahay lang."

The same goes for Mariel Pamintuan, who is getting ready for her first kontrabida role as Athena. "We'll just spend it together sa house. Usually sa bahay lang po kami nagse-spend ng Christmas, Noche Buena."

Sabrina, whose family is based in Hong Kong, will have to spend Christmas with just her mom her in the Philippines.

"Originally, plan po namin umuwi. Pero dahil baka maging medyo hectic ang schedule, siguro dito na lang. Siguro punta kami sa mall, magdi-dinner ganun. Tapos mag-exchange kami ng gift kung mayroon akong mabibili," says the young actress.

As for the gifts they want to receive, all three are asking for time with their families, especially now that their taping schedules are tight.

Recently, Bianca bought herself a brand new car. Do the other two have anything specific to give to their loved ones?

"Kay Mommy talaga, kasi super dami ng naibigay ni Mommy sa akin. Siguro kahit ako ang magluluto or maglilinis ako sa bahay, 'yun ang pinaka maibibigay ko sa kanya," Sabrina reveals.

Mariel also has something in mind for her siblings. "'Yung kuya ko, 'yung ate ko, kasi may mga hilig sila."
